Amers[a.mɛʁ] is a collection of poetry by French writer Saint-John Perse, published in 1957.[1][2] Perse won the Nobel Prize in Literature three years later.[3]
The title means "sea marks" (points used to navigate at sea, both manmade and natural); it possibly puns on the French amer(s), "bitter",[4][5] perhaps meaning "briny" here,[6] and has echoes of mer, "sea".[7]
Amers was ranked #97 in Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century.[8]
